Freezes in Villages (especially Talmberg)

I have constant freezes especially since talmberg. There are areas where you can provoke those freezes and reply them again and again (on the watchtower for example). Those freezes can last about 5 seconds!!

i5 3570k, GTX 970, 8 GB RAM. Even on the lowest settings their are those freezes.

Tried a lot of things already, new installation of the game and the drivers, adjusting all the settings etc. NOTHING worked to get rid of those freezes. It’s interesting that when they occur the FPS are fine :confused:

Appreciate any kind of help.

Same here. Even same CPU and graphics card (but 16GB RAM). Coincidence?
Freezes seemed to become more frequent the longer I played.

Thanks for the warning, than I will pause my playthrough until this gets hopefully fixed!

To be precise: the longer I play in a single sitting the more often it seems to freeze.
That said, I read it helped to play in a frameless window, which I’m not so keen since I have a 4k screen but can’t really run this game in 4k on my rig. Tried it, and it did help noticeably, but clearly not entirely.

Consider experimenting with Affinity settings to reserve one core for non-game usage.

With an i5 it may not improve things, but for an i7 it seems to be beneficial.

Upgrading from Win 7 to 10 done it for me! The freezes are now gone :wink:

This doesn’t help with i5. Game runs 2 slow with 3 of 4 cores even worse than feezing=(
